IN THE LINE OF FIRE 

Navy chaplain Angela Gallagher wants to put the past behind her, but she's still haunted by the wartime death of her assistant. So when his brother claims he's in danger and pleads for her to use her family's private detective company's resources to help him stay alive, she can't turn him down. But someone will stop at nothing—even murder—to keep her from revealing their secrets. She'll have to depend on a military colleague to keep her head above water. Dr. Dan Blackwell was in the field with her when her assistant died, and he's determined to keep her safe. Can they sift through the web of lies to find the truth without losing their lives?

    Explosions, Mayhem, Dark Secrets, Deceit, Murder…this is a power packed with emotion, a engaging plot plus many twists and turns!!! Angela Gallagher, a Chaplain who served in Afghanistan is on medical leave suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. She is contacted by the brother of her dead assistant. She owes the dead assistant her live as he died taking a bullet by stepping in front of her. The brother requests Angela to use her family's private detective company's resources to help him stay alive. So off she goes to help him. She runs into Dr Dan Blackwell who she knows from Afghanistan. Dan is on leave from the hospital where he works due to suffering from a hand wound. Dan also suffers from PTSD. They combine forces along with several members of her family’s detective company to go up against dangerous illegal activities. The characters are well developed, very realistic and very interesting. The tension was thick with plenty of suspense great chills, thrills with unexpected twists. It is a story showing how you need to learn to break free of the past and be willing to walk into the future. There is a powerful message of God's forgiveness and love if we turn to Him. Seaside Secrets is the second book in the Pacific Coast Private Eyes Series. The story is a real page turner!!!

    This is the second book in the Pacific Coast Private Eye Series, but it can be read as a standalone. This is another one from this author that takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of suspense and action. Once again, this author has combined wonderful characters with action, suspense, faith and romance and written a book that had me hooked from the first page and kept me reading to see what was going to happen next. I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest review, and it is one that I thoroughly enjoyed and definitely recommend to the reader who enjoys good Christian suspense.

    From the first page to the last, the book had me hooked! I will try not to give any spoilers but the action was non-stop! Dana knows how to keep the readers interest! There is certainly no "boring spots"!! The fast pace kept up through the entire book. My only problem was having to put it down to do other important things around my house! We meet new characters that are added to previous characters from the previous book but if you didn't read that book, not to worry, you will have no problem understanding this book! It's in a totally different location and focuses on Angela, who we only briefly met in the first book of the series. While the book's theme focuses on Angela's PTSD, it is not overwhelming. It is a serious problem with our veterans and Dana handled it honorably! Angela is a Navy chaplain who has returned from Afghanistan and while dealing with PTSD, receives a call for help from the brother (Tank) of a man who was killed while protecting her in Afghanistan. Of course she can't ignore it so she goes up the coast of Calif. to meet him but so many dangerous events being to happen and she's thrust into a situation that goes out of control! Dr. Dan Blackwell, who also served in Afghanistan with Angela lives in the town where Angela is caught up in this dangerous situation. They join forces to try to discover what is going on with Tank and suddenly, so many others! It's a fantastic book and one I would recommend!
